Yesterday morning before sunrise I was on my way to Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. I was in need of a nature break.

It wasn’t very birdy at the refuge. I didn’t see many animals either. But it was quiet, peaceful, and provided me with the goodness that nature brings me.
It also seemed fitting to visit the refuge since it’s National Wildlife Refuge Week, which this year runs from October 11-18.
It has been pretty warm here for October, with daytime temps near or at 90 degrees, so I haven’t seen much change in the color of the leaves yet. I hope that will happen soon.
Some of the Poison Ivy and Virginia Creeper have started to turn red, though.
Early in the morning, I can tell fall is truly on the way. Overnight temps have gotten cooler.
I took some photos and videos yesterday with my cell phone, but not very many of birds or animals. Still, I found what I was looking for: a break at a wildlife refuge from the day-to-day stresses of life.
Life is good.

Even with the government shutdown, I believe Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge will be closed past the Tuff Boat Ramp for deer hunting October 17, 18, 19, 29, 30, 31.
